Robert Dunbar
The original Gothic horror tales focused on personalities deformed through loneliness. Ghouls, vampires, werewolves: all made, not born. But the isolation? Are even such as these ever truly alone? Perhaps the psyche has always been more complex than that, desire eternally more potent than terror. Surely, none prowl entirely in solitude.
Robert Dunbar, Martyrs and Monsters

Clark Ashton Smith
Must beauty blossom, rooted in decay, And night devour its flaming hues alway?
Clark Ashton Smith, The Dark Eidolon and Other Fantasies
